The numbers are in. Banking as indeed seen its peak. Banks in Europe and the US have dismissed 100,000 people last year, the bulk after 2015.75 . The decline is just starting. We are even witnessing the decline in bank employment now in China as well. The high flying jobs in banking have seen their best days. Young bankers use to brag which bank they worked for in New York trying to impress girls. Nowadays, they tend to be silent since bankers are up there in the unfavorable perception with politicians. The bankers have become the most hated profession the world – topping even politicians and physics, so that is saying a lot.
